Wins. harris: a base election with your partys particularly former star. why isnt the current president put forward a message that didnt have to come down to the wire? hes got -- he can count on both houses, majorities on the hill and the bully pulpit of the white house and yet he struggles when he see him. >> first of all, he was standing on there featured on stage with top candidates, hands in the air. he was in new mexico last week and he was in florida, president biden has been out there but...

On his side of things, and they are saying that there has not been an effort, in an organised, consistent way, to take the microphone back from donald trump. he really owns the right in this country, and that is where things are. from a raw political standpoint, it is understandable why they are doing what they are doing but it is a heck of a bargain that they are making. inflation has been the top issue overall in this country, we have seen our polling where republicans are trusted by more than...

Do, trying to make it easier for them to say maybe youre not thrilled with how the economy is going. maybe youre feeling a little pessimistic about the trajectory of things but the alternative is this, they really want to make it a contrast not between, you know, joe biden and ger neric republican but joe biden and a democratic washington and in the words of democrats, an extremist right and i think that this draft really does give more thought for that kind of argument. especially on the left. ...

Arizona for mark kellys reelection but you have some races where republicans didnt get their best candidates and some races where there are not ready for prime time candidates in republican primaries. senate races are more about the candidates than about the national environment. and that could stymie republican hopes in couple of races. with a 50/50 senate they need to flip one net seat to get back the majority. >> dana: mid-term elections are a base election, right? you need to turn out your b...

Combination and looking for candidates who can do that i think is job number one moving forward for the republican party . i would encourage a lot of purple state republicans to study glenn youngkin, his rhetoric, his messaging, his restraint, his discipline study all of it because what he has done in virginia is pretty extraordinary. >> its very interesting to watch great kevin, i want to bring you in here, that coalition that seems to have formed in virginia between suburban moms and school is...

Gets them riled up. mask mandates, transgender students, what pronouns they should be called. its not an education plan per se in the way you are thinking about it as an observer, voter, parent. how much money is he going to put into schools? its not like that. its a broad rallying cry to rally up the supporters that will be overwhelmingly determined by which side gets more people out. base election and an off, off year. >> thats not to say its not an issue. there are parents who care about this...

Digits in this race. the bottom line is that we all saw california recall election 18 years ago where around schwarzenegger. he was trying to appeal to democrats and republicans and independents. this is a primary campaign. this is running to your base. and jenner has a lot of competition on the base side. larry elder this talk show host has captured the imagination of republicans. and, again, in a base election in california at this point the democrats could easily wind. and thats what we think...

Achieve it. >> joe manchin has said explicitly he will not support the for the people act. he laid down a marker and said he would not vote for a certain piece of legislation. >> spoiler alert. the federal government is not swooping in to solve these problems. theyre happening in the state legislature. thats where they need to be solved. to solve it, you need to vote in the midterm elections, people. every midterm becomes a base election when you sit home, and thats how these extremist republica...

Hyper partisan divided election cycle which 2020 will be, it is more of a turn out model than it is a persuasion model and its counter into ti counter intuitive how you see poll situations behave. in reality what it insent vises them to do is to become more partisan, excite and turn out more people on their side than you see on the other side. and that is i think the election that the nrsc over on the senate side is preparing to run most of their senators in. its that type of partisan tomorrow...
